    Where we as managers/leaders focus our attention and energy has a huge impact on the results we get through others – the point of management and leadership. It also impacts our own personal results, as this video will clarify.

    History of Enlightened Leadership Solutions
    The best place to begin is where we got our name.
    The Allied Forces had just won a quick and decisive victory in the first Gulf War. The efficiency and the effectiveness of the forces were notable. One of our principals was watching CNN interview one of the Generals in Saudi Arabia .
    The General who shared his observations and analysis on why the Allied Forces were so successful commented: The chain of command has empowered the armed forces in the field to get the job done. Decisions are being made at the battle front, not by the brass in Washington . Now thats enlightened leadership.
    Three years later, the book was published by Simon & Schuster. The book is in its 31st printing and has sold over 230,000 copies worldwide.
    What weve learned is a profound demonstration about the power of human capital, and unleashing that power is at the very core of our work.

    Philosophy of Enlightened Leadership Solutions
    We believe that people are the cornerstone to success. People are the single biggest opportunity to realize performance gains without expending or investing in additional resources.
    Attitude, alignment, communication, focus and commitment are critical differentiators between those who thrive and those who just survive. We consistently find that individuals, teams, and organizations who execute these areas well, out-perform those who may have more technical knowledge or talent.
    We believe that what makes people tick doesnt change much from company to company. The behavior that is driven by management philosophy, culture, process, systems, procedures, and structure is unique to each organization. Research has concluded that cultural alignment is a significant factor behind failed mergers and executive retention. Much of the knowledge we have gained over the years will impact individual performance. Organizational performance is further dependent on what, how, and when that knowledge is applied to those unique organizational factors.
    We also believe that innovation and knowledge transference is critical and that the greatest measure of our success is how fast organizations integrate and apply the capabilities that we initially provide them. Our goal is to create independence, not dependence on us for success. We are a catalyst and guide for change, not the holder of the process. The more organizations are accountable for success, the greater and more sustaining the performance improvements. Developing that accountability is an important part of our work.

    Best regards,
    Ed Oakley

    ISO 9000 Standards Quality Management System

    Posted by admin on May 10th, 2010 and filed under organization management | No Comments »

    http://www.e-wia.com

    The ISO 9000 Standards requires the organization to document a quality management system in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001. A document (according to ISO 9000 clause 2.7.1) is information and its supporting medium. A page of printed information, a CD ROM or a computer file is a document, implying that recorded information is a document and verbal information is not a document.
    Clause 4.2 requires the management system documentation to include certain types of documents and therefore does not limit the management system documentation to the types of documents listed.
    As a management system is the means to achieve the organizations objectives, and a system is a set of interrelated processes, it follows that what has to be documented are all the processes that constitute the system.
    While there is a reduction in emphasis on documentation in ISO 9001:2008 compared with the 1994 version, it does not imply that organizations will need less documentation to define their management system. What it does mean is that the organization is left to decide the documentation necessary for effective operation and control of its processes. If the absence of specific documentation does not adversely affect operation and control of processes, such documentation is unnecessary.

    Leading Outside the Lines

    Leading Outside the Lines – How to Mobilize the Informal Organization, Energize Your Team, and Get Better Results
    Every enterprise has an informal as well as a formal organization. The formal is the side with which business people are usually most familiar. It consists of analyses, strategies, structures, processes and programs all codified in memos, charts and power-point presentations. These tools are designed to align decisions and actions. The informal is generally less familiar. It consists of emerging ideas, social networks, working norms, values, peer relationships and communities of common interest the elements that often hide beyond the boundaries of the formal. In Leading Outside the Lines, authors Jon Katzenbach and Zia Khan make the compelling case that it is in the less familiar informal world where magic happens yet one without the other is unlikely to sustain peak performance over time.
